When the fire broke out, the three of them hurriedly left the place and returned to Lanruo Temple.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the temple, I saw a female ghost kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and I was afraid that there were hundreds of ......

"Yan Daxia, please save us!"

"We are all forced by grandma......"

"Yan Daxia, we can't go to the underworld now, please help us......"

A group of female ghosts wept and pleaded.

Yan Chixia couldn't help sighing: "Okay, Yan will send you to Yinsi, as for your fault, the judge of the own prefecture will judge you at that time." ”

"Thank you, Yan Daxia!"

The female ghosts were pleasantly surprised and kowtowed to thank them.

However, if you want to do this, you have to wait until midnight when the yin qi is thicker before you can open the yin and yang channel.

Gu Ming wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he said hello to Yan Chixia and Shifang, saying that he would go back first and come back later.

As soon as she arrived home, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Gu Ming covered in blood and stains.

"Gu Lang, why are you injured?"

Gu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, a little injury." ”

"No, you can't ignore minor injuries, come into the room, I'll help you apply some medicine."

"Then I'll go wash it first......

After taking a bath, Gu Ming lay comfortably on the bed, wearing only a pair of big pants.

Although the two have been engaged, they have not officially married after all. Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian is inevitably a little shy.

However, seeing the wound on Ailang's body, he couldn't help but feel distressed, lowered his head and examined it carefully, and then began to apply the medicine carefully.

While applying it, he counted it: "You still said that it was a small injury, you see that there are injuries on the back, waist, and legs...... Are you in conflict with that old demon? ”

Gu Ming smiled: "That's right! However, it is worth it to suffer this injury, because Yan Daxia and Shifang have teamed up to destroy the old witch, and finally solved a big hidden danger. ”

"Huh? You guys...... Destroy that old demon? ”

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yes, because the old demon of Montenegro happened to be in retreat, and the opportunity was rare, so we took action."

"It's really a blessing...... Nie Xiaoqian sighed with some fear, and then asked: "Then Yan Daxia and Shifang have nothing to do, right?" ”

"Well, it's not a big deal."

"That's good!"

"By the way, Xiaoqian, I have to go to Banruo Temple tonight, Yan Daxia wants to send those female ghosts to the underworld, I want to see and see, maybe I can learn something."

"Go if you want, but be careful."

"Well, it's okay, you don't have to worry...... By the way, you ask Yu'er to buy more wine and food, and I'll take it away later. ”

"Okay, then you can rest for a while."

Nie Xiaoqian admonished before getting up and leaving the room.

……

In the afternoon, Gu Ming came to Lanruo Temple with wine and food.

"Yan Daxia, Shifang, come on, come on, I brought a lot of wine and food, let's have a few more drinks."

"Gu Sheng is really thoughtful."

Yan Chixia sat down, picked up the wine jar and began to pour wine.

After drinking for a while, Yan Chixia couldn't help but say: "Now that the tree demon is dead, the old demon of Montenegro should not be out of the customs for a short time, so Yan plans to leave here for a while, go to the rivers and lakes to walk around, and visit some old friends by the way." ”

Gu Ming's eyebrows moved, and he subconsciously asked, "Oh?" Then I don't know when Yan Daxia will come back? ”

"I can't say, anyway, Yan has long been accustomed to the life of being at home. But no matter what, sooner or later, Yan still has to find a way to get rid of the old demon of Montenegro. ”

"Count the little monk."

Shifang immediately joined in the excitement and continued to say.

Drinking wine and chatting, the sky became dark before I knew it.

More than a hundred female ghosts walked to the courtyard one after another and gathered around, looking at the three of them......

For a while, the incense wind hit people, and the scene was so spectacular!

Gu Ming and the three of them can still be called mindful, if this is an ordinary man sitting here, I'm afraid it won't last more than half a minute.

Because, the cold of these more than 100 female ghosts gathered together is enough to make an ordinary person freeze to death.

Where are the crooked thoughts in the mind?

In response to an old saying: you can only watch from a distance and not blasphemous.

"That's it, let's drink it again when we have a chance in the future."

Yan Chixia subconsciously glanced at the female ghosts around her, sighed, and then got up and began to prepare.

It doesn't cost much to send one or two, but you can send hundreds at a time, so you have to set up an altar.

Throughout the process, Gu Ming has been observing attentively, striving not to miss a detail.

Of course, none of this is a matter of eyesight, and it is impossible to do it at a glance. But it never hurts to get to know it, and there's always something to learn.

Yan Chixia didn't hide her secrets, and patiently explained in the process of arranging the altar, including what kind of talisman to use, what kind of spell to use, and so on.

After everything was ready, I waited for almost half an hour, and midnight finally came.

"Okay, the hour has come, all of you stand in the circle and don't move......"

Yan Chixia commanded a group of female ghosts to take place, and then began to send souls.

Although the Ten Directions will also send souls, the methods of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are different, so they can only stand aside and watch, and they can hardly help.

The whole process lasted almost an hour before it was successfully completed.

"That's it!"

Yan Chixia seemed to be a little tired, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her head.

"Amitabha, Yan Daxia's move can be described as immeasurably meritorious, good and good!"

As a result, Yan Chixia sighed: "Yan would rather not have such a merit." ”

Shifang was stunned, and then nodded with understanding.

If one or two are okay, and send away hundreds of female ghosts at once, thinking about their life experiences and encounters, it is indeed embarrassing.

……

The next morning.

Yan Chixia took out more than a dozen Dao talismans and handed them to Gu Ming.

"These talismans can be pasted on the courtyard wall outside the temple when you have time, which can deter some little demons and ghosts, so that they dare not cross the line easily."

"Thank you, Yan Daxia!"

Gu Ming accepted the talisman and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it......"

Subsequently, Yan Chixia explained the use of the Dao talisman again.

After explaining, he said: "Okay, if there is nothing to do, Yan is ready to leave, and he will visit the house when he has the opportunity." ”

"No problem, I'll be sure to prepare a good treat at that time."

At this time, Shifang couldn't help but ask Yan Chixia: "Where is Yan Daxia going to go?" ”

Yan Chixia thought for a while: "I may have to go back to Guanzhong first." ”

"Guanzhong? Hehe, the little monk hasn't been there yet, why don't you go with the little monk? ”

"Haha, why not?"

As soon as he heard this, Shifang looked overjoyed, and said to Gu Mingheshi: "Then the little monk left with Yan Daxia, and there is a chance for us to drink together again." ”

Gu Ming smiled and arched his hand: "No problem, I wish you two a smooth journey." ”

After Yan Chixia and Shifang left, Gu Ming went around to the slope of his house and pasted talismans on the temple wall according to the method described by Yan Chixia.

The magic is that the talisman automatically falls into the wall as soon as it touches the wall, so you don't have to worry about someone taking the talisman away or getting caught in the wind and rain.

Paste it all the way, and in the end, there were still two left, and Gu Ming carefully put them away for backup.

In this way, his heart is much more steady.

The dryad has been destroyed, the old demon of Montenegro will not be out of the customs for a short time, and the female ghost in Lanruo Temple has also been sent to the Yin Division, and there are no ghosts and ghosts to make trouble again.

Even if there is, there are these Dao runes.

So, Gu Ming strode back to the county seat to arrange for manpower to continue to open up the wasteland, and strive to break ground as soon as possible.

It only took a few days for all the slopes and fertile land to be reclaimed, and then it came to the main event: construction.

However, Gu Ming didn't worry too much about this, because the foreman and workers had someone come forward to help him, and he only needed to check the construction progress of the other party regularly, and then pay the money according to the progress.

Then, it was a quiet day.

Gu Ming occasionally went to the study or construction site to have a look, and most of the time he stayed at home to read and write, in preparation for the next year's exam.

Of course, when I had free time, I began to slowly write the third volume of Dream of Red Mansions.

The second volume had already been written before, but Gu Ming planned to press it first and wait until the Chinese New Year to hand it over to Ma Yun for printing.

After all, I just handed in the manuscripts of "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Legend of the White Snake" not long ago, which is ...... You really have to press it, so as not to be too shocking.

……

A few days later.

In the afternoon, Nie Hongshu looked happy and strode into the courtyard.

"Daddy, why are you here?"

Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly stepped forward.

Nie Hongshu glared: "What?" Listening to your tone, is Daddy welcome to come over? ”

"How can there be, people just ask ...... in passing"

"Hmph, you girl turned her arm out before she got married......"

"Father-in-law!"

Gu Ming heard the movement and hurriedly walked out of the room to say hello.

Nie Hongshu immediately smiled all over his face, and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, virtuous son-in-law, I came today to bring you good news." ”

"Oh? Father-in-law, please take a seat...... Xiaoqian, what about Yu'er? ”

"Yu'er went out to buy something, or I'll go buy some appetizers and come back."

Nie Hongshu waved his hand: "No, you can also sit down and listen to the good news, and let Yu'er make two dishes at will in a while." ”

Nie Xiaoqian sat down as she said and urged, "Daddy, say it quickly, what's the good news?" ”

"Lord Chen sent me a letter, saying that Yan Changqing's performance in the palace was a great success, and was deeply appreciated by the harem ladies.

Even the emperor watched two shows, and rewarded the troupe in public, and the queen mother and the queen mother also rewarded them respectively.

In this way, Yan Changqing's troupe became famous in the capital in one fell swoop......"

"Great!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Master Chen said in the letter that Yan Changqing's troupe entered the palace this time to perform the two plays of Du Shi Niang and the Legend of the West Chamber.

Moreover, it has spread in the capital, saying that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother like the book you wrote very much, and then I heard that Yan Changqing compiled an opera based on the content of the book, and it is quite popular.

Therefore, this will be called into the palace.

At present, there are already many people in the capital who have heard the wind and are trying to buy these two books......"

Hearing this, Gu Ming immediately said: "Then I have to quickly inform Brother Yun, let him hurry up and print, so that he can take this opportunity to open up the situation in the capital." ”

"Well, you write a letter now, and I'll send someone to Yuhang Mansion as soon as I get back."

"Then please sit down for a while......

Gu Ming immediately got up and wrote a letter to Ma Yun, and then handed it to Nie Hongshu.

Within two days, Yan Changqing also sent a letter......

The situation described in the letter is similar to that relayed by Nie Hongshu.

At present, his troupe is still performing in the palace. Moreover, the Queen Mother also sent a message, asking Yan Changqing's troupe to stay in the capital to develop, so that it would be convenient to be summoned into the palace in the future.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to becoming half of the royal theater troupe, which is a great honor.

Therefore, Yan Changqing was naturally grateful, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude in the letter.

After reading the letter, Gu Ming was overjoyed and immediately replied with a letter to bless him......
